Some of the stuff released in the last 15 years SHOULDN'T be called music (IMHO)! I listen to just about everything if one excludes Rap & HipHop (which is mostly music ripped off from other artists or profanity rants). My son is listening to 70s and 80's channels to be able to listen to what he calls real music and when in the car with me, he gets exposed to what are called Oldies Stations which makes him wonder what will be called Oldies Stations when he is older because he just can't see there being Rap and HipHop stations in say 20 years which would be "his" oldies stations. He regrets listening to some of the rebeluis music of the 90's because he missed out on the actual music of the 80s and 90s which he is catching up to now. As for where all this is going, only time will tell. But the simply fact that Spotify has 4 million songs that are available for streaming that have NEVER once been picked to stream shows a huge issue with trying to guess what people really want. There are at least 100 songs that are among my favorites that are NOT available on Spotify, Tidal, or Pandora to which for 95% of them they can't give me a good reason why they are not available. A few of them are due to copyright disputes which prevents that from being sold/streamed/played such as a label and the rights being sold to another company and that company going bankrupt before really being setup so the material is in limbo. Also most streaming services don't even a means or method for songs to be added by request. I understand there is no good way or financial sense in adding just songs I like or want, but if there was a method for requesting additions and they reach X where it does make sense to add it, then make your customer base happy! *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108382 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
